Back in a learning mode once more (currently wrangling information on [XmlTextReader](http://www.devhood.com/tutorials/tutorial_details.aspx?tutorial_id=31) and multithreading). 

Also been rediscovering the wonderful [DotNetRocks](http://www.franklins.net/dotnetrocks.asp) shows, check them out  - great for long journeys / passing time in airports!

My current information source of choice (besides the internet) is the book [Programming .NET components by Juval Lowy](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596003471/mostlylucid-21), best book I've ever read covering the more advanced .NET topics, such as threading, security  and app design...very nice and a definite 'must have'
